We propose a method to evaluate spectral functions on the lattice based on a variational method. On a lattice with a finite spatial extent, spectral functions consist of discrete spectra only. Adopting a variational method, we calculate the…
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay constants of the heavy vector quarkonia, $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ mesons at finite temperature. In particular, considering the thermal spectral density as well as additional operators coming up at…

Many measurements of quarkonium suppression at the LHC, e.g. the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ of $J/\Psi$, are well described by a multitude of different models. Thus pinpointing the underlying physics aspects is difficult and…
In lattice gauge theory (LGT) equilibrium simulations of QCD are usually performed with periodic boundary conditions (BCs). In contrast to that deconfined regions created in heavy ion collisions are bordered by the confined phase. Here we…
